3D Material Visualization Services

Q: For which industries do you create 3D material renderings?

At Danthree Studio, we create, among other things, photorealistic 3D material renderings for the furniture, home, and living industry. Using our digital materials, we can visualize entire interiors or create furniture renderings. This includes renderings of upholstered furniture, as well as wood, stone, and metal products.

Q: What advantages do digital CGI textures offer over photography?

Digital 3D textures allow us to display different material variations within the same scene and develop them consistently for catalogs, websites, or campaigns. If a surface changes, we can adjust the material in the existing 3D model. A separate albedo/base color map separates the base color from the lighting. This allows us to relight the scene without having to photograph the product again.

3D Material Visualization:
Surfaces Up Close and in Context

We create photorealistic 3D material visualizations for textile and surface manufacturers. Master cabinetmakers, interior designers and 3D artists work together on images of fabric, wood, glass, metal, stone and tile.

From fabric weave to the sheen of metal, we match texture, lighting and scale to the real material. We use these digital materials to create close-ups and interior scenes for your collection.
Textile and material brands including Perennials and Kvadrat trust us with their digital material twins.

How Your Brand Benefits from CGI Textures & Digital Surface Visualizations

How can different material variations be displayed consistently without having to photograph each one from scratch?

Realistic Product Presentation: Rendered 3D textures can be used to create realistic product renderings. Even small details, such as synthetic fibers or the way light reflects off metal surfaces, are precisely reproduced through 3D texturing to create realistic material representations. Thanks to our expertise in digital surface visualization for product design, we create high-resolution 3D visualizations of surface structures that present your products in a photorealistic way! Adobe Substance 3D demonstrates more about how digital materials work.

Flexible Designs: Unlike with real photos, we can change the materials in 3D renderings at any time. This is particularly advantageous when you offer products in different materials. For example, if you want to showcase a sofa that’s available with both leather and fabric upholstery, we can quickly and easily customize the 3D model and apply the appropriate 3D material to the model’s surface.

No studio setup required: We digitally transform your materials into high-quality visualizations and virtual material samples for online presentations. Colors and finishes can be displayed in the same scene without having to set up a new photo shoot for each variant.

Dr. Alexander Sova

Managing Director at Wittmann

We commissioned Danthree to create 3D product renderings and a CGI environment for our outdoor furniture series VANZEELAND. Our goal: to present the furniture on the coast of Zeeland without having to go there ourselves. From the technical drawings and some inspirational photos, this beautiful environment was created just a few weeks later. Daniel & his team not only implemented the task perfectly from a technical point of view, but also provided us with highly professional advice. With an eye for aesthetics, attention to detail and a great deal of expertise, the team guided us through the project. We can therefore recommend Danthree Studio to anyone looking for a competent partner for CGI in the home & living sector!

From Sample to CGI: Our 3D Surface Visualization Process

Step 1: Initial Consultation
‍

During our initial consultation, we’ll discuss which materials and variations you’d like to showcase and where the images will be used. Together, we’ll determine whether detailed views, product images, or interior scenes are needed.

Step 2: Samples and Material Data

We'll review your existing material scans and the desired display size. If suitable data is missing, you can send us physical samples. We'll use these to create the digital surfaces for your visualizations.

Step 3: Visualizing and rendering materials and textures
‍

After we have received all the necessary information and physical samples from you, our CGI artists will start visualizing your materials. For this process, we can first digitize surfaces and then create product visuals for your materials.

Step 4: Joint debriefing + adjustments

We'll work with you to evaluate the effects of materials, lighting, and perspective. Your consolidated feedback will be incorporated into the agreed-upon rounds of revisions; we'll specify the scope of these rounds in the proposal.

How We Bring Your 3D Materials to Life with CGI Visualization

Benefits of 3D Material Visualizations for Your Brand

We create your material images, from close-ups to interior scenes.

Highly detailed renderings of your materials

For LEICHT IDEA, we matched satin-matte acrylic, stone-effect and wood surfaces against physical samples. Close-ups reveal texture and sheen. The roughness map controls surface roughness in the rendering. We use the same principle for upholstered furniture, flooring and wallcovering visualizations. See our material renderings for LEICHT IDEA.

Showcase the appeal of the material to your target audience

We tailor the visual style to your brand and the people who select your materials. Close-up shots highlight texture and sheen, while interior scenes demonstrate how the materials are used in a space. In addition, we can create digital 3D animations that showcase the materials’ effects and how they interact with changing light.

Rapid Marketing

Accelerate your marketing efforts with realistic and highly detailed 3D renderings. We can visualize products and materials as early as the development phase, allowing you to start marketing even while production is underway.

Subject-Specific Expertise

Master cabinetmakers, interior designers and CGI artists work together on your material images. We prepare each surface for digital material samples for online presentations. Wood, metal, glass, stone and fabric have different textures and respond differently to light. We account for these properties in our 3D texturing and material variant renderings. UV mapping determines how a texture is applied to a 3D model; RizomUV is a specialist tool for this task.

Custom Material Renderings for Your Brand

Our expertise in digital material simulation is essential for effective CGI marketing. However, we’re not only well-versed in 3D technology but also in marketing, and we create 3D images that incorporate your corporate design and subtly convey your brand message.

Coordinated rounds of revisions

We'll discuss your feedback on the material, lighting, and visual impact, and implement the agreed-upon adjustments. We'll specify the scope of the revision rounds in the quote before the project begins.

FAQ: 3D Material Visualization for Products and Surfaces

What is 3D material visualization?

3D material visualization is the photorealistic representation of materials such as fabric, wood, metal, or stone in digital form. Using CGI (computer-generated imagery) technology, textures can be visualized so realistically that they are virtually indistinguishable from real materials. We also incorporate shadow effects such as ambient occlusion (AO) to make material edges appear more three-dimensional.

For which brands are material visualizations suitable?

Material visualizations are suitable for a wide range of brands and manufacturers. These include manufacturers of building materials, furniture, clothing fabrics, flooring, wall coverings, and more. These 3D images can help manufacturers better showcase their products and highlight their uniqueness, quality, and variety. However, our 3D agency, Danthree Studio, specializes in the home and living sector and creates product and material renderings for furniture manufacturers and interior design brands. You can find the latest material trends in Architonic Magazine.

For which industries do you create 3D material renderings?

At Danthree Studio, we create photorealistic 3D material renderings for the furniture, home & living industry. With our digital materials, we can visualize entire interiors or create furniture visualizations. These include upholstered furniture renderings, but also furniture made of wood, as well as stone and metal products.

What materials do you visualize?

As a specialized 3D rendering agency, we can visualize a wide range of surfaces and materials. These include, among others, wood renderings, fabric and textile visualizations, stone and tile renderings, glass renderings, metal renderings, and much more. Our 3D technology and expertise allow us to digitally render both simple and complex materials with a high level of detail. We also take lighting and shadows into account. If you’d like to check whether your textures tile seamlessly, use our Tileable Texture Checker.

What file formats will I end up with?

You’ll receive finished renderings in agreed-upon image formats such as JPG, PNG, or TIFF. Upon request, we can also provide textures for PBR (Physically Based Rendering) systems as well as textured 3D models, such as GLB, USDZ, or FBX. We’ll coordinate formats and requirements for AR or configurators with your development team. We deliver the assets; your team handles integration, the engine, and hosting.

What advantages do digital CGI textures offer over photography?

Digital 3D textures allow you to display different material variations within the same scene and develop them consistently for a catalog, website, or campaign. If a surface changes, we can adjust the material in the existing 3D model. A separate Albedo / Base Color Map separates the base color from the lighting. This allows the scene to be relit without having to photograph the product again.

How long does the rendering process of materials take?

The time it takes to create a material or texture rendering depends on many factors, such as the complexity of the material and the format in which it is to be rendered. The entire process can take anywhere from a few hours to several days. For a more accurate estimate, please feel free to contact us and speak with an expert at Danthree Studio.

Do I have to physically send my materials?

Not necessarily. We first check whether your existing high-resolution scans are suitable for the images you need. You can also send physical samples for us to scan and digitize in the studio.
